Captain Planet and the Planeteers #4

The cover of this January 1992 Marvel issue — proudly printed on recycled paper as "The World's Most Ecological Comic Magazine" — delivers a chaotic urban brawl as Captain Planet dives fist-first into a massive, roaring yellow creature while Linka struggles in its grip, calling out that she can't summon the wind. Meanwhile, several Planeteers including Kwame are scattered across a crumbling street, with Wheeler declaring it's his turn to step in. Ron Frenz and Joe Sinnott give the cover real kinetic energy, pitting the blue-skinned eco-hero and his team against a hulking monster threat tied to the villainous Duke Nukem. With the story titled "If You Can't Nuke 'em... Join 'em," this issue looks like a wildly fun entry in the series for fans of the era.
